Paris is PUSH511's December CrossFit Member of the Month!
Paris has been attending group CrossFit classes at PUSH511 for about a year, and is one of our amazing members that you can meet during our weekday noon classes! Paris was an instant fit from day one at PUSH, and we are so lucky to have her in our community. Here's why the PUSH team thought Paris deserved to be highlighted as Member of the Month this December!
Paris is always fun to have in class. Social, coachable, and always brings the energy to any hour she comes in for.
Paris was like family from the day she tried out PUSH, we're so happy to have her as part of the community! Paris works hard in the WODs, but also knows not to take herself too seriously. She brings a ton of positive energy to class and everyone laughs more when Paris is around.
Paris is absolutely amazing in so many ways. I love having her in class! She always has a smile on her face, is always cracking jokes, and has the best can-try attitude. She’s so encouraging to other members at the gym, and jumped right into the spirit of the Open earlier in the year as a new-to-PUSH member. She truly embodies the community at PUSH. You can always find her working on her pull-ups or toes-to-bar and I can’t wait until she accomplishes her goals!
Now, let's get to know our December Member of the Month!

Tell us a little bit about yourself and your family. I moved to Baltimore with my fiancé, Ronnie, and two pups, Seven & Cinco, last June from Miami after seven years there. My immediate family lives here too (some may have seen my mom drop in a few classes!), so I happily get to see them a lot more often now.
Tell us something we don't know about you! I graduated as a Bio major from college; years later, I moved to NYC (where I met Ronnie) and became a fashion stylist for several years before moving to Miami and studying Interior Architecture.
